Chapter 517 [Continuously making big news]
As soon as Liang Kun returned to China, many media immediately wanted to interview him after hearing the news, and Constantine's phone call was almost blown up.
Liang Kun is already the most talkative star in Asia. In the past, Yao Ming had a higher exposure rate, but Yao Ming played in the Rockets for many years and did not even pass the first round of the playoffs. Liang Kun, who went to the United States, stole the limelight.
At the beginning of 2007, Liang Kun was constantly making big news. In addition to starring in two movies, he also received two Grammy Award nominations and will attend the Grammy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on February 11.
Liang Kun arranged his itinerary and was unwilling to stay in Los Angeles until February. He came back for a month to vacation and then went home for the New Year.
He set another historical record, and no Chinese anthemist had ever been nominated for the Grammy Music Awards. He was nominated for the "Best Pop Performance Award" and "Vavalavida" was nominated for Song of the Year.
If he hadn't only released two EP records and did not participate in the show, the American media thought he could be nominated for "Best Pop Singer" because his four songs were of too high quality.
"Vivalavida" is likely to win the Song of the Year Award. It became popular after its release last year, and it ranked first in the music rankings in many European and American countries.
In addition to the Grammy nomination, Liang Kun was nominated for the most popular movie song of the "People's Choice Award". Because the content of "Vavalavida" and "Happy Death Day" were not consistent, he lost to "LifeontheHighway" of "Racing Story".
If a Chinese can win a Grammy Award, it will undoubtedly prove his influence in the global music circle. If "music has no borders", then for Chinese singers, a Grammy trophy is needed.
Liang Kun's achievements in the music scene are unmatched in Asia. Jay Chou is also an excellent singer-songwriter. He doesn't seem that great when compared with him, and he can't be able to leave China. Some people in Xiangjiang also said that Xiangjiang's "God of Songs" is better, and most people said "Haha" after hearing this.
On the morning of the third day of returning to China, Liang Kun held a press conference in the restaurant lobby of Wanliu Golf Club. It was not time to eat, so there was a lot of space to clean up the table, and wedding banquets were often held here.
Nearly one hundred reporters arrived and pointed their spears at Liang Kun.
Liang Kun sat on the stage for a while and quickly checked the reporters' tasks that were available. There were four orange, most of them yellow. The reporters of the four orange tasks came from other places. They were not old and wanted to make big news, so they were very excited to interview.
Liang Kun took it all, and if he could finish it, it doesn’t matter if he couldn’t finish it, anyway, he would inevitably be interviewed.
He chose to be a star because of today's situation. He doesn't have to deliberately find good things to do, many people will come to him and send some tasks to his door.
There are many waiters and security guards on site to help maintain order. This is the property of the "brother-in-law" Wei Kun's family. Liang Kun wants to make an event restaurant to cooperate fully. Liang Kun likes to hold press conferences here and advertise for the club.
The reporters took turns asking questions, first asking about the Grammy nomination.
Liang Kun said: "I am very happy to be nominated for Grammys. I will continue to create English songs in the future. There will be Mandarin, but many of them are sung for others."
The reporter asked: "Do you have any plans to hold a concert in the country this year?"
"I won't be too busy this year and then talk about it later." Liang Kun smiled and said, "I don't even have a fixed soundtrack team, so I can't start it right away if I say it."
The reporter asked: "Liang Kun, your own directed and acted by "Escape Room" has achieved remarkable box office results. This year, we will play important roles in two major production movies. Do you have any special thoughts?"
"I especially want to say sorry to my family because I often have to stay abroad and not have time to accompany my parents. They will worry that I am not good at living in the United States and I am afraid that I will suffer losses in a foreign country. As a star, I am very successful, but as a child, I am not as good as my sister."
Liang Kun's answer received a lot of applause. Chinese people have always attached great importance to filial piety and have been passed down from generation to generation.
If children stay on the other side of the earth for a long time, the elderly will definitely worry, even if the child is Liang Kun. Liang Kun’s previous Mandarin albums included songs for parents. In people’s opinion, he is a person who values family.
A reporter immediately asked: "Many Chinese people choose to immigrate abroad after becoming famous. You have made achievements in Hollywood. Will you consider immigrating to the United States in the future?"
"I will get a green card from the United States because there are many things there, and it is more convenient to have a green card. But I definitely won't change my nationality. Joining a Chinese nationality is much more difficult than joining a US nationality. It's easy to change it, but it will be difficult to change it in the future."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene and reporters applauded.
The so-called American green card is equivalent to a temporary residence permit. In other words, people with green cards can legally live in the United States, but they are not native American citizens. For example, Yao Ming has a green card, but he is a Chinese nationality.
Liang Kun is not a good word, he is talking about the facts, it is really difficult to join the Chinese nationality.
In parallel world, Jaycee Chan, the son of Kung Fu superstar Cheng Long, was born in the United States and automatically obtained American nationality. In order to work hard in the Chinese entertainment industry better and more conveniently, Jaycee Chan decided to change his nationality to China, but it was very difficult. After many twists and turns, he successfully joined Chinese nationality in 2009. Cheng Long publicly stated in an interview: Chinese nationality is the most difficult to obtain!
Then Liang Kun introduced the movie and said it very well. He is very professional now and has a complete work plan.
The reporter asked: "Can you talk about success experience? Make some suggestions for young people."
Liang Kun smiled and said, "My experience cannot be copied. You will know when you look at my resume. I understand a little bit of everything and have more colorful life. I don't recommend that others learn from me, it would be better to focus on doing one thing."
It is impossible for ordinary people to do many things well. Only those who cheat can achieve success in multiple fields. To be practical, focus on doing one thing, you will find that you may not even be able to do one thing well...
The reporter asked: "You are going to play the couple with Oscar winner Charlize Theron in your new film. In the United States, you said in an interview that she is the one you want to work with the most. Is she your ideal type?"
Liang Kun smiled and said, "I am really happy to work with Theron because she is the most suitable actor to play Amy. Don't forget that I am still the author, the main creator of the movie and the director. What I want is a pleasant collaboration to make classic movies, not any actress I like, and want to take advantage of the opportunity of filming to develop a relationship."
The reporter asked: "What about Miss Sun Ye-jin? Why did you invite her to participate in this movie?"
"She is a good actor and can speak fluent English. We have no problems in Korean and English communication. In addition, she is a person with a very good personality. I know that she has outstanding acting skills and can play the role of a sister well, so I invited her. Actually, I also thought about asking Tang Qi to play this role. Her acting skills are fine, but the English is not good enough."
Liang Kun casually praised Tang Qi. In fact, her acting skills are difficult to act in movies in China, so it would be strange if she can play complicated roles when she goes out. But domestic sugar powder must be happy to hear such comments, and the media is also willing to praise Tang Qi. She is very popular.
How popular is Tang Qi? Last year, China selected the first "Golden Eagle Goddess". After Liu Yifei was elected, many fans expressed dissatisfaction and believed that Tang Qi was more qualified. The fans of the two started arguing online, and finally they were interviewed to calm the fans down, and netizens calmed down a little.
In parallel world, Tang Qi, whose acting skills have always been criticized, is called "The Light of the Central Academy of Drama" in this life. Many people think that her acting skills beat Liu Yifei because she changed her acting skills and never played the role of silly Bai Tian.
"The Big Movie Tens of Billions" was released at the end of December. Tang Qi's performance once again received good reviews and had a good box office.
Liang Kun's cameo was very eye-catching. Many people said that he had good acting skills and could be seen in one minute. He imitated Liang Chaowei's expression in "The Mood for Flowers" with vivid expressions, his eyes were simply amazing, and his tone was the same.
A reporter asked a question. "Which actors do you think in China have good acting skills and have the potential to go to Hollywood to film? Can you tell me how many people?"
Liang Kun smiled and shook his head. "I can't say it because there are too many. Many Chinese actors have good acting skills, but Hollywood does not have so many roles suitable for Chinese people. In the final analysis, Hollywood movies are made for Europeans and Americans, and using white actors is the mainstream."
Yes, their acting skills are all very good, but they don’t know how to speak English and are too lazy to go out. It’s enough for everyone to understand this way. Liang Kun doesn’t need to say too much, and he won’t praise people he’s not familiar with.
If he really wanted to give a few examples, he was too lazy to mention them. There were actresses out there, but there were almost no male actors. The men who had filmed scenes in Hollywood were basically foreign nationalities, and they spoke very well in English when they grew up abroad, such as "Canadian Cannon King" and "Gul'dan".
The reporter asked: "You will play two roles this year. Which role will you be more confident to play well?"
"Everyone is confident to act well. These two are characters I like. The characters have a complicated heart and require very high acting skills. I like to challenge."
The reporter asked: "What do you think is the main reason why you can pass the audition and get the role of Joker? As we all know, this is a white character, and it is the first time in history that Chinese actors play such a role."
"There is only one reason I can get this role, that is, my acting skills are outstanding. The Joker is a unique villain. In the film, I don't need to show my true appearance. I am 100% sure to act well, although not many people believe this."
The reporter asked: "The last person who played the clown was the famous Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson. Many people compare you with him. Will this put pressure on you?"
"To be precise, many people are squirting me because Nicholson has played clowns. As long as I contributed a wonderful performance, these doubts will naturally disappear. On the contrary, if my performance cannot satisfy most of the audience, it proves that they are squirting well. Stress is inevitable in life and will become my motivation."
